Forums Forums Wirral Information Jobs - Training Interview for basic garde phlebotomist

just thought i would make an appearance im off now lol

Good job i have no ex's on here too

Oh wait... sean is one, but were good mates still =]

D'oh - am I THAT transparent???

OK, OK, if I promise not to come back if it doesn't work out can we give it a try?

Only messing with you - let us know how it went!

yer will do.

AN HOUR, i'm dead scared!!!

Don't be scared hon. Just go in there feeling confident, but not cocky. Don't answer the questions too quickly - take a breath, think about your answer then deliver it in a confident and concise manner. Don't sit with your head down, maintain eye contact but don't stare and whatever you do - don't do a Spud from Trainspotting

As long as you have done some background on what the job entails and the hospital itself, you should be fine.

Good Luck

But i havent haha iv only done retail, but they know that and still gave me an interview!

I'm not even sure why i want to be one... :S

Then do some pretty quick Just the basics should do.

What made you apply in the first place??

my mum was like youd be good at this coz your good with people, dead chatty and stuff, make people feel good and not worry, also just so i could get onto the NHS haha.

Ok - here's some of the skills you'll need to be a phlebotomist:

Excellent communication skills - you've worked in retail, you dealt with customers every day no doubt.

Manual dexterity - if you used the tills, then you can pick up, scan and dump.

Smart presentation.

Willingness to undertake ongoing Training.

Ability to work in a pressured environment - retail at christmas, need I say any more!!!

Able to work as part of a team - you don't work alone in retail, think about it.

Able to handle sensitive & confidential information - we'll skim over that

Able to cope with nervous and distressed patients - if someone is nervous, could you take their mind off it? Distraction techniques - find out what they like doing and talk to them about it or get them to tell you, it takes the focus away.

Shows sensitivity & empathy to the needs of others - if you can do the above then this is easy!

Accept and follow instructions in a safe and efficient manner - you're not thick so I don't think it's a problem.

Will that do you

yer i think.THANK YOUUU!!.. byeee xx

Hey, that's what we're here for

Good Luck Doll

Don't forget to tell them you used to be a smackhead and therefore you are great at finding veins! That'll surely get you the job!

all done!!!!!! =] =]

Was scary but ok i think fingers crossed find out on tues
